Oooh put me down for a Boris Johnson onesie.
No, second thoughts, if I buy one, have me put down.

I'm having "Silence of the Lambs Buffalo Bill" thoughts here Reastie , if I catch Boris, hide him in my shed down a well and steal his skin to make a onesie..................

You're safe BoJo, I can only sew Hallowe'en costumes Wink

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 21/09/2014 13:47

Ha ha they probably give you a temporary ban as well reastie if you exceed so many characters in a month :)

EustaciaVye · 21/09/2014 13:50

Anyone have any secret santa suggestions? mid 30s male.

Reastie · 21/09/2014 13:50

70 that made me laugh

OP posts:
Notso · 21/09/2014 13:51

Apparently Bo-Jo wears a Union Jack onsie. I'm sure he looks spiffing in it too Grin

Reastie · 21/09/2014 13:52

eustacia I wish we had our secret santa names already, we usually only get a weeks notice, drives me crazy. I got some festive loo roll last year as a top up gift for my 30s male secret santa along side a huge super sized beer glass. It transpired that he was getting over a tummy bug when he received it so may have been more useful than I had imagined Confused

Whoops - added a post about stamps but it took me so long (first post for yonks) that you all ran off to here while I was typing it!

indyandlara · 21/09/2014 14:03

Excellent. Made list of what I had so far last night and it was heartening. All biggies to get though.

RunByFruiting · 21/09/2014 14:07

Body shop £25 off a £50 spend in store/online ends tomorrow (topcashback/quidco): 14673

Although they usually have a similar code once a month or so?

Searching for cheaper Happyland as ds1 has just discovered how much fun it is!

Picturesinthefirelight · 21/09/2014 14:11

I love the football cards advent calendar idea from the previous thread for ds.

But what can I do for dd (she will be 13) -and don't say f*** loom bands!!

She is dance mad if that helps & already has far far too much make up & perfume.

TeWiSavesTheDay · 21/09/2014 14:11

Hello all!

I'm looking at cookie cutters on Amazon to put with playdoh in kids stockings - these look good £2.86 for. 4 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00MITHOLE/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?ie=UTF8&smid=ALFCOM7KCTIF7&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21

After note on other thread can someone tell me if that link shows my name/details! Thank you.

summersanta · 21/09/2014 14:14

Runbyfruiting how old is Happyland good for? Ps how do you make someone's name in bold?

What will my 2yo dd want for Christmas? Was thinking a scooter but not sure if she will be too small? :/

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 21/09/2014 14:19

Thank you for all the comments about the argos 3 for 2 on the previous thread. I have a list of about a dozen playmobil ideas for dd2 and found the prices of them on amazon, john Lewis, argos, boots and toys r us. When the 3 for 2 starts I'll be in a brilliant position to check out how it's affected all the prices and buy the most reduced. I'm hoping the pirate sets will be cheapest as I want to play with them myself
